Verastic Life #1: My First Week In Nigeria

Yippee!!! I am now officially a weekly vlogger. I'm nervous and excited. In this week's episode, I take you through my first week in Nigeria, starting from the Washington Dulles International Airport.

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series. Before I traveled to Nigeria, I blogged about the 13 things I had to do in Nigeria. By the way, that list has been updated to 16 things. Anyway, number 7 on that list is meeting the old bloggers. Just about every chance I get, I complain about how I miss the old bloggers and how they have all stopped blogging. And I have also mentioned the Nigerian Blogger men I used to love. I know our friendship began online, but for some of them, we Read More
